EXOTIC
Panaeolus cyanescens is a species that is wide spread throughout the globe. Spores are dark black and differ visually from cubensis spores; Panaeolus species are a great addition to your spore library to compare to cubensis spores under the microscope. These prints were made from wild prints from the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean; hence the name Panaeolus cyanescens var “British Virgin Islands; BVI”. The prints were collected Autumn 2022. Due to the lack of a veil and being from wild specimens, there is a slight increased chance of contamination but prints are screened before use to reduce contamination presence as much as possible and customers report clean samples!
Panaeolus cyanescens var “British Virgin Islands” may be shortened to BVI.
These prints were made on wax paper and each print is contained within its own small ziplock. Prints are about the size of a quarter- see reference photo below.
Spore prints are sent in a larger ziplock bag with “Microscopy use only” written on the ziplock.
Spore prints will be labelled with an acronym for the variety or with the full variety name or, if it is a single print, the ziplock may be labelled.
